The Free Software Foundation Europe covers the release of YaCy 1.0, a
peer-to-peer Free Software search engine. "The YaCy search engine
runs on each user's own computer. Search terms are encrypted before they
leave the user and the user's computer. Different from conventional search
engines, YaCy is designed to protect users' privacy. A user's computer
creates its individual search indexes and rankings, so that results better
match what the user is looking for over time. YaCy also makes it easy to
create a customised search portal with a few clicks."
